I had a situation come up at a Warhammer tournament yesterday:
H
Teutogen \ W /B a
Guard / K \M r
p
i
e
s
After a four unit combat ended with the dark elves broken and run
down, I had the above set up, with my WK=wolfkin facing a BM =
Beastmaster on a Manticore staring back at them, with some harpies just
behind the Manticore. My Teutogen Guard are behind the wolfkin, facing
them.
So I tried to first declare a charge by the wolfkin on the harpies, and
second declare a charge by the Teutogen Guard on the manticore. The
Wolfkin could see the harpies, and even if the harpies fled, the four
inch failed charge would be enough to take the wolfkin past the
manticore, leaving a clear lane for the Teutogen Guard to charge the
manticore.
My opponent told me that I could not charge with the Teutogen Guard,
even though they could see the manticore, because the wolfkin were
blocking the charge. He believed that a Q&A from White Dwarf had
clarified you can only declare a charge if you can make the charge
initially, not if you can only make the charge after other charges
move.
The judge sided with him, so I dropped it, but was that correct or was
I denied a legal charge?
